          Or the board of rich assholes who do nothing for the company but hold up their hands every quarter.

            These people are acting like every company that exists is somehow extracting money from them, even if they aren’t actually paying for it. For someone to ask for money in return for a service is a straight insult to them lol.

          They’ll take as much as they can get while providing the bare-minimum in return.

          It’s called “maximizing profit”, and a lot of people in this thread don’t seem to understand that.

              Jesus christ, relax. Discord isnt some billion dollar revenue stream for people like Elon Musk. Last year it generated $130 million in revenue. The only money they make are from nitro subscribers, otherwise their entire platform is free for you to use. I dont know why you think Discord is a soulless company, especially considering it’s not even publicly traded so doesn’t have to bend to the will of shareholders.

      I like nitro for the audio and stream quality benefits. It’s not much money and makes the experience with friends better.

      Doesn’t seem much different than streaming services asking for more for 4k streaming.

        I have shit internet so the audio and stream quality does matter to me - its the universal emojis and sound board that keeps me paying. I’m not ashamed

          Haha the extra sound board slots are a nice perk too. Nothing as satisfying as the John Cena intro when something goes your way in a game.

      Considering how much is free and how much of a better experience it is compared to competitors, yeah, it really is not so bad. The MTX boil down to a few cosmetics and ability to use more bandwidth (ability to upload bigger files, stream in 4K)
